Vintage Peugeot Bike
Is there anyone on here that is a Peugeot expert? I have a older bike but don't know anything about. Is there any experts on them on here? I would upload pics but I'm a new member and not allowed yet.
Thanks
Monty

Have you searched the discussion threads for Peugeots? Located the on-line Peugeot catalogs? Would you be able to describe the frame and its construction, paint and decals? Do you have access to the components, and can you describe them? Can you describe the wheel hubs and rims, particularly any markings?

Welcome to the Bike Forums Monty. Peugeots are collectable and nice bikes, in my opinion. There are many models and not all were made in France. You will need ten post, spread over at least over two days before you can post pictures. Let us know where you live in one post. How you got the bike in another and so on. First thing you know we will know what you have.
Here are some examples of Peugeots to get you started.
Seventies UE8 from France - entry level - common and an exceptional ride quality...
Seventies PX10 from France - top of the line and iconic in nature (my opinion)...
Early eighties Canadian Peugeot Super Sport - nothing special but nice enough...

"Aztec" lugs suggest U?-8.
(Edit: As juvela points out in a later post, vertical drilling of brake bridge means it's not what I originally suggested.)

the head emblem and Lyotard model 36R pedals suggest mid-'70's at earliest
not a U08, note the vertically drilled brake bridge
perhaps a UE8?
here is a manufacturer's catalogue page for the U.S. market model UE8 of 1974. this is the closest year was able to locate quickly. suspect subject machine about two years later -

When you ever un-wrap the handlebars, check the ends for stampings, could be a date there on AVA-made bars.
On your rear derailer, the mo/yr date code should be stamped into the pulley cage.
On each rim, there is are diamonds stamped near the valve stem with the year inside of the diamond.

If you tighten the front derailer clamp bolts, I would expect the plastic derailer body to crack. Check it for a firm grip on the seat tube and consider leaving it alone or replacing it with a metal one, saving the original in the basement.
I've noticed these all coming apart over the past ten years, forty-plus year-old plastic, yikes.
The plastic Simplex rear derailers seem to hold up so far if not abused.

I just finished restoring a PH10 mixte myself and am anxiously awaiting being able to post a pic or link. I understand why it's so, but this forum's restrictions are pretty hostile to newcomers.

Oh, I understand why it's done. I ran a forum myself for more than 20 years.

Assuming that was the original serial number, 7 digits starting in 1 would denote 1971, with the caveat that Peugeot serial numbers can be inconsistent. The decals are consistent w/ 1971.
